So who is going to translate this into a actual test usable in doctor offices and hospitals? Damnable lazy stroke associations, you know who you are. Why don't you ever write on survivor blogs telling us what you are doing for survivors?
The abstract this is based on here;
Thrombin is a serine protease and regulator of hemostasis that plays a critical role in the formation of obstructive blood
clots,
or thrombosis, that is a life-threatening condition associated with
numerous diseases such as atherosclerosis and stroke. ... Using a
thromboplastin-induced mouse model of pulmonary embolism, we show that
urinary biomarker levels differentiate between healthy and thrombotic
states and correlate closely with the aggregate burden of
clots
formed in the lungs. ... Here we hypothesized that synthetic biomarkers
could be tailored to survey intravascular sites for acute thrombosis,
the activation of a cascade of protease activity that orchestrates the
formation of obstructive blood
clots within vessels (Figure 1A)
